    1. 4-H: Addressing America’s Critical Need in Science, Engineering & Technology

    2. For more than 100 years 4-H has provided opportunities for young people to explore science that is: cutting edge practical science Linked to university research Connectde to Social Skill Development Hands-on Explation and Experimentation Hands-on exploration and experimentationFor more than 100 years 4-H has provided opportunities for young people to explore science that is: cutting edge practical science Linked to university research Connectde to Social Skill Development Hands-on Explation and Experimentation Hands-on exploration and experimentation

    10. SET Guiding Principles Programs in the context of positive youth development: Mastery, Independence, Belonging, Generosity Programs are based on National Standards National Science Education Standards – content and abilities/behaviors 4-H SET involves Youth/Adult Partnerships 4-H SET is delivered in a variety of settings and locations and involves diverse audiences

    15. Partnerships National/Federal level partnerships are intended to assist state and county professionals. Examples of current partnerships: Lemelson-MIT National Association of Rocketry Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

    16. Initiatives on the Horizon Addressing overall “water” challenges in the U.S.; Revised robotics and rocketry curricula and learning resources; Renewed focus on animal and plant sciences; Expanding 4-H SET in urban areas.

    17. 4-H SET in Urban Communities Three Year Plan

    18. Urban Communities Survey Demographics Interest in Project Delivery Modes Curricular Areas Programming Descriptions Keys to Success Strongest Needs

    19. Respondents (139) 139 respondents (local 4-H professionals working in a community of 50,000 or more)

    20. Population of Cities (139)

    21. Summary from Survey Significant interest in pilot programs, urban committee, and mentoring opportunities. 2/3 4-H Afterschool, ˝ summer day camps, 1/5 campus-based Nearly 40% or more in energy, robotics, digital filmmaking/photo., GPS/GIS, and engineering. Partnerships are overwhelmingly seen as key to successful urban 4-H SET programs. Hands-on, experiential, relevant, and engaging programming is seen as key to success.

    22. Why Youth Filmmaking? “Curriculum that combines science with leadership and civic engagement.” From 4-H SET in Urban Communities Survey – Strongest Needs 4-H Filmmaking Studio. 40 survey respondents currently programming in filmmaking and/or photography. Potential for Teens as Teachers. Sharing, program celebration, and recognition.
